In Diablo 3, the start of Season 26 is just around the corner. But which class are you playing? We are here to help you with the selection and provide you with the Wheel of Fate.
What’s happening in Diablo 3? This week, Season 26 launches with Patch 2.7.3 in Blizzard’s hack and slash title. The start date is April 15. Now, veterans and new players are asking themselves: Which class should I play in the new chapter?
In this article, we have created a survey about your favorite classes. If you are still unsure, you can initially use the Wheel of Fate at the end of the article. By spinning, you will be assigned one of the seven classes to play.
What happens in Season 26?
This is the theme: The big theme for the next few months will be “Echoing Nightmare.” This is a new mode in the game that was previously available in a similar form back in 2015. However, everything has been refreshed and is supposed to work better now. You are in an arena where waves of enemies spawn repeatedly. The difficulty continues to increase. You will fight there until you can no longer, and at the end, you will receive special rewards.
Balancing: The new Patch 2.7.3 changes sets, attacks, or items for Barbarians, Crusaders, and Monks. There may be changes that make you more interested in the class and influence your choice. You can find the patch notes for Patch 2.7.3 in Diablo 3 on MeinMMO.
Survey: Which class are you playing in Season 26?
Vote here: Each of you has one vote that you can cast for one of the seven classes in Diablo 3. If you plan to play multiple classes in Season 26, simply give your vote to the option you are most excited about.
You can use this: If you don’t care which class you play in Season 26, you can let fate decide. Sure, fate is a big word for a digital wheel that randomly stops at one of the seven results. But let’s just call it that.
If you are already unsure between 2 or more classes, the wheel might take the decision away from you. We will embed it here for you. Just click on it to spin and get a result.

Have you decided on a class for Season 26 in Diablo 3? Whether you chose it with the help of the wheel or based on your own arguments, let us know here on MeinMMO in the comments why it’s this class and what you plan to do with it. Do you prefer to play solo for yourself, or is it the group content that attracts you?
Fortnite has a large collection of emotes that is expanded with each season. However, some are considered so unfair that they are labeled as Pay2Win and even adjusted by Epic Games. A player has now discovered a new emote that allows you to dodge bullets.
What is this emote? This is the emote “Board Flair” from the icons series of “Chloe Kim”. When using the emote, your skin performs a backflip with the snowboard and then poses with a peace sign towards the spectators.
A player, however, published a clip on reddit where he accidentally used the emote in combat. This not only secured him an “Epic Victory,” but also allowed him to show off.
Dodge with cool moves and win
The reddit user Ryzii_Mode-_- published his video and asked the community whether the item shop sells emotes that do not provide in-game advantages. We have embedded his cool moves here:

The absurd thing is that the winner of the round did not intentionally use the emote. He accidentally stumbled upon the gesture selection in the heat of battle and chose his lifesaving moves from Chloe Kim.
What does the community say? Players on reddit are going crazy and cannot believe the insane stunt Ryzii_Mode-_- pulled off. They joke about the fight with comments like:
He then stopped playing the game and got back to his homework – Wabi-Sabibitch
Holy crap that was so sick and it’s even better that it happened by accident – Huqs
That was the most disrespectful thing I have ever seen in this game – Quantum_Helix
Have there been other incidents? This emote is not the only one that allows you to dodge bullets or gain an advantage in combat. In Chapter 1, Epic offered the emote “Deep Dab” for purchase.
Many players use this emote to dodge bullets while confusing and retaliating against opponents. After this incident, Epic introduced an emote cooldown that prevents you from immediately striking back after a gesture.
What do you think about such emotes? Do you think it’s exaggerated that players see them as Pay2Win or do you not care, since you would have won a fight anyway? Do you also use such emotes to distract your enemies? Let us know in the comments!

How good is a monitor for gaming that appears in the bestsellers on Amazon before Easter? MeinMMO took a look at the best-selling monitor on Amazon.
What are these bestsellers? The seller Amazon creates so-called “bestsellers” for various products and categories. These figures are based on the most orders and are updated hourly by Amazon. This allows for a good understanding of which products are currently highly regarded by potential customers.
A monitor from Huawei is currently a top bestseller on Amazon. MeinMMO explains to you why this device is not worth it for gamers.
A monitor from Huawei is currently a top seller on Amazon
What kind of device is this? The bestseller is the Huawei AD80HW or simply Display 23.8. This device is also the first monitor that the manufacturer Huawei has in its range. Until now, you would primarily know Huawei for smartphones and smaller gadgets like fitness trackers.
The screen relies on an IPS panel with low viewing angle dependence. A matte coating should ensure that you don’t have to deal with annoying reflections in sunlight. On the back, there is an HDMI and a VGA input, the monitor does not offer more.
What does the device cost? Currently, you pay 125 Euros for the Huawei AD80HW instead of 160 Euros. This is a saving of 21%. If you pay 6 Euros more (131 Euros), you even get a model with 75 Hz.
Oops, unfortunately this affiliate widget is no longer available.
Huawei monitor not suitable for gaming
Why is the device unsuitable for gamers? The built-in IPS panel from Huawei only achieves 60 Hz. Especially in fast-action titles, the refresh rate would limit you. We would recommend gamers of fast shooters or action games a gaming monitor with at least 120 Hz. A YouTuber once tested whether a 144 Hz monitor makes gamers better shooter players.
Additionally, the monitor lacks an important gaming feature. The device offers neither Adaptive Sync nor FreeSync. Some testers explain that the response times are supposed to be quite sluggish (via pc-magazin.de). In practice, this means: With fast movements, there are ugly and uncomfortable streaks on the monitor.
The features of the Huawei AD80HW are also sparse. You get neither a USB hub, nor speakers, nor a headphone jack. The device also does not offer a Display connection.

As the war in Ukraine continues, some local Twitch stars remain online. They show their brutal everyday life in videos and images, mainly to their Russian audience. However, one of them had to flee and shares his experiences.
Despite the war, many Twitch streamers in Ukraine are still active. Vlad “lomaka” Lomakin was one of them before he had to flee with his family.
In an interview with Motherboard, the Ukrainian provided insights into his daily life as a Twitch streamer before his escape and how his colleagues are trying to enlighten Russian viewers.
Before his flight, Lomakin also shared videos and images from the war. He had around 93,000 subscribers, mostly believed to live in Russia. This gave them insights that they would not have seen due to local censorship.
Viewers react very positively – “Some people came and apologized”
Lomakin lived in Kharkiv, in Eastern Ukraine. The city has been under heavy bombardment by the Russian military for weeks, which is also mustering troops in the region. Therefore, he left the city and fled to his family in Dnipro, further west in Ukraine.
His pictures and videos until then documented the destruction of the city, which many now call a ruin. His young Russian viewers were very supportive.

These are the experiences of the streamer: According to Lomakin, most of his Russian viewers reacted in solidarity with the Ukrainians. The feedback has been predominantly empathetic.
“Luckily, my followers understand everything. They clearly see that this is a war, that civilians are dying, and many are forced to leave their homes. […] Many people in the chat apologized for the actions of their president [Putin, ed. note], even though they did not vote for him.
The streamer believes that the Russian government has overlooked a gap with Twitch. While most social media in Russia have been taken offline, the streaming platform is still accessible without tools like VPNs.
YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook are just some examples of social networks that have been blocked in Russia.
The Twitch gap gives Ukrainian streamers the opportunity to convey the Ukrainian perspective and the consequences of the war to their Russian followers.
He and other streamers also published a video asking Twitch not to withdraw from Russia. Many Western companies have also withdrawn from the country without Russian prompting.
Through Twitch, there is a way to inform the young Russian audience about events outside their country without censorship or filtering by the Russian government.
Our expertise at MeinMMO relates to gaming. Those who want to learn more about the conflict between Russia and Ukraine are recommended to inform themselves on official sites or at news magazines:
– Ukraine live blog (via Zeit) – War in Ukraine: Belarusian troops reportedly invaded Ukraine (via nzz) – Solidarity with Ukraine (via auswärtiges-amt)
Important notice:If you are troubled by dark thoughts due to the current situation: You are not alone. Please seek help. For example, at the telephone counseling service at 0800/111 0 111 or the online counseling, where you can also use a chat. This is free and applies nationwide.
According to Vice, Ukrainian streamers have gained many additional followers since the beginning of the war. Most of them are reportedly Russian-speaking viewers.
Although more and more streamers have to go offline due to the war, the remaining ones stay active and continue. But not all Russian followers react positively to the accounts of the Ukrainian streamers.
At least that’s what Twitch streamer, former CS:GO champion, and Russian-speaking e-sports commentator ceh9 says: “That’s why the situation pains me. Many streamers from Ukraine cannot understand why their viewers from Russia don’t believe that planes are bombing their hometowns.”
ceh9 currently lives in Lviv. He was recently banned on Twitch for showing dead bodies in a stream, and someone reported it. His account was reinstated after he apologized, as it was an accident. He has around 700,000 followers.
Many now fear that Twitch could also be blocked in Russia soon.
In Pokémon GO there is a Spotlight Hour with Scoppel today, April 12. We show you everything about the start, Shinies, and bonuses of the event.
What kind of event is this? Every Tuesday evening, a Spotlight Hour starts in Pokémon GO. For the duration of 60 minutes, a specific Pokémon is in focus, which the developers determine at the beginning of each month.
Today it’s all about the Pokémon Scoppel from the 6th generation. It brings a bonus that gives you more XP.
Spotlight Hour on April 12 with Scoppel – Content
When does it start? The Spotlight Hour starts today at the usual time at 6:00 PM local time. It will be active for one hour and ends at 7:00 PM.
What bonuses are there? During the event, you will find Scoppel almost everywhere in the wild. The Pokémon will also be attracted if you activate incense during the event time.
In addition, there is a bonus for evolving. For evolving Pokémon, you will receive double the amount of XP. This is especially worthwhile if you are still on the way from Level 41 to Level 50.
Can you catch Shiny Scoppel? Yes, Shiny Scoppel is in the game and with a bit of luck, you can catch one during the Spotlight Hour. However, the chances of finding a Shiny are not increased.
Scoppel and Grebbit – In the bottom row, you can see the Shiny Pokémon
Is the Spotlight Hour today worth it?
Here’s how strong it will be: You can safely ignore Scoppel in PvP (against other trainers) and also in PvE (in raids). Its evolution, Grebbit, is quite strong in the Super League during trainer battles. With moves like Mud Shot and Earthquake, you have a really strong attacker.
However, Grebbit is not really worthwhile for raid battles and can be neglected.
The Spotlight Hour today is interesting for all trainers who want to expand their PvP collection and need a strong attacker from the mid-tier for the Super League. If you have set aside a few Pokémon for evolving, you will get double experience points, which can also be worthwhile.
Will you participate in the Spotlight Hour today or skip the event? Let us know your opinion here on MeinMMO in the comments.

A YouTuber has unveiled a special mini-version of Elden Ring using a unique camera technique. This is what the action RPG looks like as a completely different game. Fans are thrilled.
The YouTuber Flurdeh regularly showcases cool videos where he demonstrates his camera technique. Now there is a new video that presents the open-world giant Elden Ring from a new perspective.
This changes the entire atmosphere of the game. Flurdeh illustrates this with numerous areas around the game world of Elden Ring.
You can watch the video yourself here:

Elden Ring from a new perspective thanks to special technique
The video shows: First, we see the entrance of the church of Elleh, right at the tutorial dungeon. We can see the game character in motion as he enters the church. There, we also see the merchant Kalé.
We also get to see the grace site, areas around the capital Leyndell, the massive stone bridge to the giants’ peak, and numerous other locations from the Lands Between.
Despite the perspective and filters, many exciting details are visible, and the game’s graphics fit surprisingly well. It also provides a brand new perspective on the level design by developer FromSoftware.
What technique does the creator use?
In an interview with PCGamesN Kevin “Flurdeh” Hensen explains that he discovered the “Tilt Shift” technique back in 2015. In this technique, a part of the image is focused while the rest is blurred.
For cameras, there are special tilt lenses that bend the optical axis. This way, you can alter recordings as shown in the video.
Hensen explained back then in the interview:
A real tilt lens was too expensive for me. But around the same time, I started to get interested in virtual photography in games, and I tried to simulate that with screenshots. They didn’t look good at first, but over the years, I kept experimenting with different techniques. Eventually, I started making videos again, and when I wanted to try it out again, I thought: ‘Why not in video form?’
His tiny videos with tilt-shift were made for Red Dead Redemption 2, The Witcher 3, Days Gone, Cyberpunk 2077, Battlefield 1, Skyrim, and many other titles.
This is how the video is commented: The commentators are overall excited. Many would love to play a game in this style themselves.
Others are reminded of the PS1 era, drawing comparisons with the old Resident Evil games. Others see parallels to newer games like Octopath Traveler or the Switch version of Zelda: Link’s Awakening.
Zelda: Link’s AwakeningOcotopath Traveler
Here are some more comments from YouTube and the Elden Ring subreddit:
“I don’t know how you did this, but it turned out damn good!” – hamburger_train_
“I would definitely play a game in this style. Looks great.” – MeisterOfNone
“Reminds me of Final Fantasy or the Resident Evil games on PS1, where there were fixed cameras in the levels. But it looks cool.” – AArch1TT3KKT
“I love how small you make the huge golems look. It’s so cute!” – Glyde Borealis
“I’ve always wanted to make a game that looks like this.” – Jarrod Hudson
“It’s so beautiful, I wish there was a mod to zoom the camera out and make it similar… Maybe in the future.” – space dandy

A Twitch streamer is ranked 2nd in the leaderboard of Call of Duty: Vanguard, then he gets caught using cheats. Now it is known how he explains his wallhacks, but the reason may not fully convince. MeinMMO tells you more.
In just 3 seconds, a Twitch streamer lost everything. pplehx is live on Twitch and is playing CoD Vanguard – the game where he ranks 2nd in the leaderboard.
Then he briefly has technical problems. For 3 seconds, his stream stutters. His capture program seems to lose orientation and doesn’t know what to film. The streamer complains about the stuttering, but his viewers see more than they should:
For 3 seconds, crystal clear wallhacks are visible in the stream. The viewers finally see what the player sees as well, namely red-outlined opponents, even through walls.
Here you can find all the details about this story:
The new leaderboard mode in CoD Vanguard has a serious cheat scandal. The streamer then deletes his Twitter and Twitch accounts. However, images are circulating on social media showing how the cheater explains his wallhacks.
“I didn’t know how to turn them off again”
An image is circulating on Twitter from a Twitch chat. It shows the cheater pplehx reacting to a user.
pplehx apparently said that he only started using the wallhacks after he was already ranked 2nd. He was then asked why he needed cheats if he was already so high up.
The explanation raises eyebrows: “I used [the wallhacks] for the diamond camo and didn’t know how to turn them off again.”

The second-best player in the world is said to have used blatant wallhacks to help unlock weapon skins. Then he reportedly didn’t know how to turn the cheats off, and simply shrugged and accepted them.
This serious oversight was apparently well hidden by pplehx, as he never mentioned, explained, or asked for help regarding the “unintended” advantage before the fateful Twitch clip.
It has been noticed: In the clip showing the cheats, he doesn’t even use the diamond camo. His primary weapon even has the standard skin. Perhaps also because the diamond skins are not exactly pretty.
For this explanation, pplehx is ridiculed on social media. FPS pro Ian “Enable” Wyatt doesn’t even need to explain why this excuse is ridiculous – he simply repeats it and garnishes the statement with 3 emoji:

In the meantime, the ranking in the game has been updated. Where pplehx was ranked 2nd yesterday, he has now completely disappeared:
pplehx no longer appears in the leaderboard.
The story of the wallhack user in the top 2 has generated a lot of discussion in the community. Some were shocked that someone so prominent could remain unnoticed for so long. Others, however, were not surprised at all – they even believe there could be more cheaters in the top 10.
Because the story of pplehx is not the only cheating incident in CoD Vanguard in recent weeks. One player even pointed a camera directly at his wallhacks:
Kaitlyn “Amouranth” Siragusa is primarily known for her revealing and controversial content across all social media platforms. However, she recently did something good and interrupted one of her ASMR streams to help a little baby bunny that her dog “Bear” brought in.
That little bunny was really lucky. It also shows how careful Bear must have been with it to carry it in his mouth without causing any injuries. Amouranth also called it a “miracle.”
In a few days we will know how World of Warcraft will progress. But which features can save the game? What does WoW need to rock again?
For fans of World of Warcraft, a big day is approaching. On April 19, right after Easter, the future of Blizzard’s MMORPG will be revealed – in other words: The next expansion will be introduced. As usual, rumors have been circulating for weeks, and some promising leaks are going around that promise plenty of new features. Four new classes, housing, the abolition of the leveling phase – these and many other innovations are promised by the alleged leaks.
Opinions among players, however, are divided on what World of Warcraft urgently needs right now. For some, it’s the return of artifact weapons as in Legion, for others a more “grounded” story, which is supposed to have less Sylvanas, and others hope for major revisions to the combat system.
More about the future of World of Warcraft can be found here:
There are many opinions, and everyone thinks they know the one problem that World of Warcraft currently has and whose resolution would make the game much better.
That’s why we want to listen to the community and find out: What problems do you see, the readers of MeinMMO? What features does World of Warcraft absolutely need in the next addon to regain momentum?
We have prepared a list for you from which you can choose up to 3 features that would be particularly important to you.
If your point is not directly in the selection, please choose “Something else, namely …” and leave a comment under the article explaining what the next addon must definitely include.
Of course, you can also simply leave a comment and explain your choice – maybe your comment will then appear in a follow-up article.

Developer Raven Software announced via tweet: In CoD Warzone all vehicles on Rebirth Island have been disabled. Although the developers did not provide reasons for this step, the community has a clear suspicion: the golden bunkers.MeinMMO reveals more.
Rebirth Island is probably the currently most popular map in CoD Warzone. Currently, you can only traverse it on foot.
As developer Raven Software announced in a tweet, all vehicles on Rebirth Island have been disabled. At 9:30 AM our time on April 11, it was stated: “We have temporarily disabled vehicles on Rebirth Island while we investigate an issue.”

The developers do not mention a reason for this step, but the community is quite sure they know the reason. “I think we all know what the issue is,” titles a reddit user.
This refers to the mysterious golden bunkers and a glitch that allows you to enter early.
However, there were also bunkers with a golden vault door that could not be easily opened. Initially, players had to complete a large community challenge and other secret steps before these golden doors would open.
But clever players have found a way to bypass all of that. Using vehicles, players literally force their way through the locked door to land inside the bunkers – and claim valuable loot.
Here’s what this trick looks like in the video:

As a result, players have not only prematurely destroyed a surprise. Those who exploit this glitch can quickly and easily obtain very powerful loot, giving them a huge advantage in the battle royale.
Even though Raven has not officially stated it: It is heavily assumed that this bunker glitch is the reason why vehicles were disabled.
In Pokémon GO the Spring Event starts today and brings you new quests and a new Collector Challenge. We at MeinMMO have taken a look at which tasks you can find in the game and which rewards are particularly worthwhile for you.
What tasks are involved? In Pokémon GO, around Easter there is a Spring Event under the name “Hop into Spring”. There will also be special field research tasks at PokéStops again. In addition, Niantic will unlock an additional Collector Challenge for you, which will bring you more rewards.
When does the Spring Event take place? The Spring Event runs from April 12, 2022 at 10:00 AM until April 18, 2022 at 8:00 PM local time.
Here are the 3 new quests for the Spring Event
As you know from other events, there will also be thematically appropriate research tasks for the Spring Event. In total, Niantic has provided you with 3 new quests.
How can you get the new quest? You can find the event research, as usual, by spinning the photo discs at PokéStops. Once you have spun the research, you can find it in the “Field” view in the game, which you can access by clicking on the binoculars.
The tasks are available at the stops throughout the entire event period. You have unlimited time to complete the tasks.
With the help of LeekDuck’s overview, we have summarized all tasks and rewards for you below (via leekduck.com). All monsters that you can also encounter in their shiny form are marked with a star (*).
Task
Reward
Hatch an egg
Encounter with Pikachu (Flower Crown)* Eevee (Flower Crown)*
Hatch 2 eggs
Encounter with Hapipor (Flower Crown)*
Hatch 4 eggs
Encounter with Chansey (Flower Crown)*
The Collector Challenge for the Spring Event
In addition to the new field research tasks, you can also find a Collector Challenge in Pokémon GO during the Spring Event. This will be displayed to you in the “Today” view and will be available to all players with the start of the event.
As you know from other Collector Challenges, you should also catch various monsters for this one. You need to look out for the following Pokémon to complete the task:
Scoppel
Nidoran female
Nidoran male
Pummeluff
Flurmel
Pikachu with Flower Crown
Eevee with Flower Crown
Hapipor with Flower Crown
Chansey with Flower Crown
Reward: If you have caught each of the mentioned Pokémon at least once, you will receive 2,000 experience points (XP), 2,000 Stardust, and an encounter with Togetic with Flower Crown* as a reward. In addition, you will receive a Collector Medal.
How long can you complete the task? The task will be available to you until the end of the Spring Event on April 18 at 8:00 PM local time. Until then, you can complete it and collect your rewards. Please note that your rewards will also expire after the end of the event if you do not claim them in time.
Which tasks are particularly worthwhile?
The tasks related to the new field research, as well as the Collector Challenge, should be relatively easy to complete during the event. According to Niantic, all mentioned Pokémon are supposed to spawn in the wild (via pokemongolive.com).
And the hatch distance has also been halved for quicker hatching. But which monster is particularly worthwhile? We will show you:
Togetic: The most worthwhile Pokémon is the Fairy and Flying-type Togetic from Generation 2. The monster will be found in the game for the first time with a Flower Crown, and additionally, with a bit of luck, you will even get it in its shiny form.
If you evolve Togetic into Togekiss, you will also benefit from one of the best Fairy attackers in Pokémon GO. Togekiss can shine in raids with solid stats and a strong moveset consisting of Charm and Dazzling Gleam.
And in the Master League, it is also among the top with its attacks Charm, Ancient Power, and Flamethrower (via pvpoke.com). You can also find Togetic in the wild during the event with a bit of luck. The Collector Challenge thus offers you another chance to secure a strong specimen.
Togekiss is particularly worthwhile as a strong attacker
Chansey: A Pokémon that you can find in the field research tasks is Chansey. The Normal-type Pokémon originates from Generation 1 and will also be found during the event with a Flower Crown. Just like Togetic, it will, however, spawn very rarely in the wild.
Even though Chansey is not particularly strong in attack and thus plays no significant role in raids or the GO Battle League, you should secure this monster. It can score points with enormous stamina, making it one of the best arena defenders in Pokémon GO.
Its evolution, Blissey, is even better. So if you’re still looking for a strong defender for your arenas, you should consider Chansey. With a bit of luck, you might even get a shiny specimen.
Also, the other monsters are certainly not uninteresting for some players. For example, the costumed Eevee is especially worthwhile due to its numerous evolutions. And anyone who wants a costumed Lopunny in their Pokédex should secure Haspiror with a Flower Crown.
This will also be the first time with a Flower Crown in the game. However, you can also catch the costumed Pikachu, Eevee, and Haspiror more frequently in the wild.
What do you think of the research for the Spring Event? Which monster do you definitely want to secure from it? Or do you find all the rewards rather boring? Let us know in the comments.

Warhammer: Odyssey was an MMORPG for Android and iOS that, however, did not include typical mobile elements such as autoplay. For several weeks, the game battled hacker attacks targeting its database. Since mid-March, it has been offline, and now it is clear: It will not return.
The databases are said to have been hacked by one or more individuals. The complete code of the games was read and publicly leaked. Account data was not affected, as it was stored on the servers of Apple, Google, and Facebook.
Although Virtual Realms hired an external security company, it apparently did not bring the desired success. They have now announced via Discord that Warhammer: Odyssey will be completely shut down.
The developers apologized for the players not being able to access the servers and thanked them for their support until the shutdown.
What is happening with Celtic Heroes? The second game from Virtual Realms has been sold to a new developer. This developer is supposed to continue operating the game, although according to comments on reddit, there are still issues occurring (via reddit).
Reason for the attacks is unknown
Why was the game hacked? There is no official statement regarding the background. The website MMORPG.com reports, however, that the code from the game Legends of Elumia was also leaked, a Play2Earn game in which cryptocurrency plays a role.
This game is said to have also involved the studio Virtual Realms, although they denied being the developer of the game. Instead, the studio supposedly only acted in an advisory capacity. However, the leak showed that the code of the games is said to be very similar. However, the now-deleted whitepaper indicated that developers from Virtual Realms actively worked on Legends of Elumia.
Why Virtual Realms denied this collaboration and whether the hacker attack is related is unknown.
Warhammer: Odyssey wanted to bring real PC feeling to smartphones
What kind of game is it at all? Warhammer: Odyssey is essentially a classic MMORPG that you play on your smartphone or tablet:
You create your hero from the 6 different classes.
You complete many quests, including side missions from well-known NPCs from the Warhammer world.
You explore locations such as the city of Marienburg or the Drakwald Forest, known from the Warhammer universe.
It is possible to establish a Mercenary Company. This is a guild.
The special aspect compared to many mobile MMORPGs is that you really have to play and fight actively. There was no automatic pathing to quest objectives or even automatic battles.

In League of Legends a large part of all players regularly travel on the map Summoner’s Rift. However, this map has a peculiarity. There are differences in elevation depending on where you are on the map. But those can destroy skill shots, and you don’t see at first glance what went wrong.
What is the problem? LoL is played in an isometric perspective – you look from above at your character. Even though you can clearly recognize obstacles by their texture, the walkable areas also have an elevation profile.
However, this elevation difference is not shown or calculated in the skill previews. This leads to some abilities missing, even though they were executed and placed correctly.
Players are now demanding on reddit that this elevation difference be removed.
Player shows with Gangplank how problematic the elevation difference is
What does the problem look like exactly? The reddit user Bibbybobsen published a video where he places his barrels as Gangplank and detonates them. If the barrels are in range, the explosion jumps to the other barrels, even if a wall is in the way.
However, the explosion does not work when the height causes problems.

What exactly is the problem? In the first 20 seconds of the video, the player shows how the barrels actually work. If the effect circles of the barrels touch, both explode. If they do not, only one explodes.
From second 22, he then places two barrels that touch each other but do not explode. Shortly after, he shows two barrels that do not touch, but still cause an explosion.
In the reddit thread, further videos have been posted showing problems caused by the elevation difference, for example a video with Ahri, whose charm significantly gains range due to the elevation difference (via Streamable).
Which area is particularly affected? The elevation differences are particularly noticeable at the transitions from land to river in the middle of the map. Besides the shown spot, the area behind the bush in the mid lane also plays an important role.
How is the video received on reddit? Many players are surprised by this fact. They apparently never noticed that there is this elevation difference.
However, nearly everyone agrees that this effect should be removed:
The user DevastaTheSeeker says: “The height should never have been included in the game. It is so hard to tell where it actually exists, and the game is played on a 2D plane anyway.”
Sash_lol writes: “The height difference never made sense in League. It’s rubbish, just a remnant of copying Dota.”
The user I_Am_Caprico points out that Dota fixed this issue a long time ago: “Dota 2 figured it out a long time ago. The indicators clearly show the height difference. I don’t even know why LoL has height, as it doesn’t even relate to gameplay, unlike in Dota.”
Did you know that this elevation difference exists? And have you ever taken advantage of it, or did you stumble upon it by accident? Feel free to write it in the comments.
However, what LoL does right is dealing with hackers. We took a look at this in a special:
The April patch focuses on bug fixes and “Quality of Life” changes. The developers of New World want to solve some annoying issues to improve the game overall. However, the update will be significantly smaller than the previous ones.
What’s in the April patch? The official patch notes for the PTR contain about 50 bug fixes and adjustments. Highlights include:
The map in cities and outposts now zooms directly in, making it easier to find crafting stations and NPCs
There is a fix for the gravity well with the war axe
Upon entering instances, progress banners in crafting are no longer displayed
Many small objects now lose their collision, so you no longer have to jump over them in the animation
The bosses in the arena no longer focus on enemies that are not participating in the fight
Additionally, the body-blocking issue will be fixed, which is currently a major trend in dungeons. You hold a boss in a certain place to manipulate its mechanics, such as the cage with the first boss in the Garden of Origin. This makes the fight easier, but many forget the actual mechanics as a result.
There will also be dozens of smaller bug fixes and slight balance adjustments.
Are these all the changes? No. You can find the complete patch notes on the New World forum. However, there will be further changes in the coming days. If a major adjustment is made, MeinMMO will inform you about it in this article.

What about new content in the patch? The April patch seems to forgo new content according to current information. Many had expected that the PvP arenas would be introduced with this update.
When is the April patch coming out? The patch will be playable on the test servers starting today, April 12 at 7:00 PM. The release is supposed to take place sometime in April, with the time on the PTR being shorter than in previous updates.
What do you think about the patch? Are the changes important or are you rather disappointed?

The WoW player Rextroy is back on the hunt. This time he is killing enemies in PvP – with a shield slam right to the face.
World of Warcraft is a fairly complex game with a variety of abilities, active and passive effects, all interacting with each other. In most cases, these interactions are quite harmless, but one player keeps managing to compile the most interesting combos and thus launch devastating attacks.
Rextroy is back and once again he is dealing one-shot kills in PvP that even work in the arena.
The kicker: This time a shield slam from the warrior will take you down.
Who is Rextroy? The name Rextroy is likely familiar to many players, as he publishes a video every few weeks and discovers a new, absurd exploit or combination of abilities. He usually uses these to demonstrate how to quickly solo players in PvP or even raid bosses.
What has he discovered this time? Rextroy has obtained the 4-piece set bonus of the tier set with his warrior. This increases the damage of the next shield slam by a whopping 200%. That alone would be a powerful bonus, but it was not enough for Rextroy. He thought about what other ways there are to further increase the damage of the attack. Some of his additional buffs are:
30% additional damage from Shield Block
30% additional damage from Avatar
15% more damage from mastery bonuses (Necrolord abilities)
25% more damage from strength modifiers (racial bonus and trinket)
18% more damage from soulbinds
… and a few more.
In the end, he reaches a modifier of 553% of the original damage.
You can watch the result in the video:

Rextroy unleashes shield slams that, in the case of a critical hit, can deal up to 107,000 damage points, instantly wiping out any character. Even in non-critical cases, it often results in 30,000 to 50,000 damage, which puts every other class to the test.
Rextroy uses this to simply steamroll opponents in PvP and achieve a rating of 2,000 – essentially everything through a single combo that almost always kills a player and thus means victory in the arena.
Is this forbidden? Many of Rextroy’s videos clearly fall under the category exploit. In this case, however, it may not be so, as Rextroy is fundamentally just stacking all possible buffs that make sense in a fight and using them together with the tier set bonus.
However, it is to be expected that Blizzard will soon put a stop to this overpowering shield slam before tanks eliminate all other players in PvP.
What do you think of this warrior combo? A cool thing? Or just “stupid” that something like this is even possible?

In FIFA 22 you can now secure a new card of Jermain Defoe. And it is so affordable and strong that you really have to get it.
What kind of card is it? Jermain Defoe has received an “End-of-an-Era” card in Ultimate Team. These cards are given to deserving players at the end of their careers or at the conclusion of a specific phase – and this is also true for Defoe.
The Englishman only has a 68-rated silver card in FIFA 22, but the new End-of-an-Era card jumps a whole 22 points in overall rating. Now the new 90-rated card comes out, which impresses with absolutely strong values.
Defoe is now so strong
Defoe now has a pace rating of 92
All shooting stats are above 90 – except for the “long shots”, which are still impressive at 88
The passing stats are not overly strong but can be boosted through Chemistry Styles
The dribbling stats are also extremely well set up. He isn’t a 5-star skiller, but he can handle the ball.
Additionally, Defoe has received 4 stars for skills and his weak foot
And his work rate is “High” in attack and “Low” in defense
Also, detailed stats like “Aggression” (95), jumping ability (94), or heading accuracy (99) are impressive
In short: Defoe has everything you need from a strong striker. The only drawback is the league: Being in the third English league makes linking him a bit tricky. However, this is somewhat balanced out by the nationality (English).
And getting him is not that hard – because the card is not in the FIFA 22 packs, but in a challenge.

FIFA 22: 10 helpful tips that will improve your gameplay
Affordable Defoe SBC brings you a strong striker
How to get Defoe in FIFA 22: To obtain Jermaine Defoe’s End-of-an-Era card, you need to complete the corresponding Squad Building Challenge. The great thing: Even though Defoe is an extremely strong striker, it is easy to accomplish.
This means you don’t even need special cards like TOTW players to complete the SBC. The futbin community finds solutions that cost at most about 65,000 coins – and that’s if you buy all players new for it.
If you still have a few cards in your club that fit the challenge, you should be able to lower the price quite easily – and you can look forward to a very strong striker in the end.
Speaking of strong cards: With the new event currently running in Ultimate Team, more highly rated players are coming to the transfer market. These include the FUT Captains – including enhanced hero cards.

Greg Street aka Ghostcrawler, the head of the new MMORPG for League of Legends reveals on Twitter that there is no guarantee for the release of the game. In the comments, Street goes into more detail and names a possible reason that could lead to a delayed release.
What does Street say about the LoL MMORPG? Greg Street writes in a post on his Twitter account about a potential release of the LoL MMORPG.
He reveals that they are currently optimistic, but there is no guarantee that the game will actually be released. You never know until it is time.

Greg Street: “There is no guarantee that this game will be released. We are optimistic, but you just never know until it is. […]”
High Game Standards and Avoiding Disappointment
What reason does Street mention? Besides brief statements about the current state, Street names a reason why a release might fail. According to Street, this is mainly due to the high game standards set by Riot Games. The same applies to the expectations of the players.
However, Street also explains: “Things are going super well.” In his concluding statement regarding a potentially delayed release of the game, Street makes a remark that is likely to please and unsettle MMORPG fans alike.
Street states that Riot Games does not want to release a disappointing game. This means that fans of the genre can either look forward to a high-quality game or the game will be canceled before release because it does not meet expectations.

Greg Street: “Things are going super well. I’m just being honest that the game standards of Riot are high and the expectations of the players as well. We’re not delivering a disappointing game”
Greg Street is EP and VP for upcoming MMO titles at Riot Games. In the past, he has worked as a lead game designer for League of Legends, Age of Empires, and World of Warcraft.
Already in January 2022, Greg Street commented on Twitter about the philosophy of the team regarding group content. MeinMMO editor Alexander Leitsch then looked into whether solo players can also play the LoL MMORPG and how the title stands in general.
A raid in Destiny 2 is one of the endgame activities that can only be completed as a team. Many players are therefore satisfied when they master raid encounters solidly in a 6-person fireteam. However, there are those who are more than happy to take on impossible challenges. MeinMMO shows you which raid boss was defeated solo and how it was done.
Which raid boss in “Oryx’s Curse” was defeated solo? The Destiny 2 player Vendetta specifically took on the 2nd encounter in the raid “Oryx’s Curse”. Here, the so-called “Caretaker” must be defeated, a massive monstrosity that resides in the sunken pyramid.
In addition to the encounter boss, players will face a variety of enemies that will do everything to prevent you from finding your way through the ancient pyramid.
On top of that, a tricky symbol puzzle must also be solved in a labyrinth during this encounter, for which a 6-person raid team usually splits up to handle it.
As a solo player, you must cleverly balance this symbolism across different puzzle mechanics to ultimately succeed.
How this remarkable achievement was recently accomplished by Vendetta can be seen here:

These weapons and gear were used by Vendetta for his solo run: Vendetta chose his Titan and the Void subclass of the Sentinel and combines various elemental source attributes in his armor, such as melee source creators, with light mods like “Powerful Friends”.
For the weapons, he additionally chose a weapon that can no longer be infused because it has fallen victim to Sunsetting.
In addition to the gear, particularly Vendetta’s solo mastery in the current raid “Oryx’s Curse” is already considered by some players, like NeXT DowNFaLL, to be one of the most impressive things they have ever seen in Destiny 2.
Man, this must be the most impressive thing I’ve seen in Destiny, even more impressive than solo Atheon. I always thought you were at the top of the skill ladder, but my God, this is so impressive. Well done, man.
writes NeXT DowNFaLL on YouTube regarding the solo run
Why is this achievement so special? Even with a higher power level than Vendetta, this run is initially unattainable for normal players. Even though this is not the actual final boss of the raid, but just an intermediate encounter.
It takes a lot of experience, confidence in effectively utilizing a build with mods, and of course a lot of time. Ambitious solo players spend several hours in this activity to develop an optimal solo tactic for these intense runs.
In the raid, complex puzzles and mechanics await multiple players.
It’s already special when players take on such a challenge to prove that nothing is impossible in Destiny 2. Moreover, it has now become a small challenge of the community to disprove Bungie’s basic guidelines for certain activities.
An activity for 6 players can certainly also be completed solo, even a raid.
Exceptional players regularly showcase their skills in the endgame
In Destiny 2, these proofs are primarily undertaken by a few outstanding streamers.
The player Esoterikk has defended his status as a PvE god week after week for years and plays almost every exceptionally difficult activity in Destiny 2 solo. He even goes so far as to complete them without using weapons.
The Destiny 2 streamer Baxlyy once defeated the mechanic-heavy and most challenging Riven boss fight in the raid “Last Wish” completely crazy using only melee.
And Vendetta is no newcomer in the Destiny 2 community. He enjoys killing dungeon bosses with his small hammer and can now also claim that he has soloed the puzzle and the 2nd encounter in the raid “Oryx’s Curse”.
What do you think of this achievement? Have you also considered attempting to play a raid encounter solo? Or do you think these exceptional players are not role models for Destiny 2 players to emulate? Feel free to let us know in the comments what you think.
